Jim Henson’s Inspired Silliness–created by the legendary puppeteer and revived by The Jim Henson Company and director John Tartaglia–will entertain audiences of all ages onboard the new Sky Princess in 2019 and Enchanted Princess in 2020.
New and exclusive to Princess Cruises, Jim Henson’s Inspired Silliness recreates and reimagines several hilarious, innovative works from early in Henson’s prolific career in a 30-minute performance. The Princess production show singers and dancers will bring to life the comedy, mind-blowing visuals, memorable music and world-renowned Henson style of puppetry that has redefined the art form.
With a colorful cast of new puppets from Jim Henson’s Creature Shop, including several newly designed characters, the show captures Henson’s spirit and legacy and includes a lighthearted video introduction by his son Brian Henson.
“Audiences experience something special and mesmerizing while being entertained by puppetry, and Inspired Silliness will give our guests an incredibly unique and new entertainment offering,” said Denise Saviss, Princess Cruises’ vice-president of entertainment experience. “You can’t help but smile, laugh out loud and sing along to this original Henson production and feel connected to the performers and the audience during this show.”
The show–reimagined and directed by John Tartgalia, whose credits include The Wizard of Oz and Shrek the Musical–is being introduced first on Sky Princess, which has just launched in Europe and will be spending the winter exploring the eastern and western Caribbean from Ft. Lauderdale.
